Two of my bestest friends are Catholic and so each year lent dawns upon them, and me being a fabulous person (although notably not catholic), join in on the fasting of some luxury/indulgent 'thing'. The first year I can't remember what I gave up (probably swearing), the second it was Coca Cola (and yes I haven't touched it since, power to me), last year...mmm can't remember, and this year I unforgivenly gave up CHOCOLATE. Now I know what you're thinking, "stupid girl" and you're right. I should have given up sweets, vegetables, wearing jeans, but I didn't and it was too late for me to go back on my word and so the long month began. It went surprisingly well, even though at work I had two chocolate bars sitting in my desk drawer and the fact that my own mother kept 'accidentally' buying all things chocolate (as revenge I suspect). But the tables turned on thursday when, after a shit week at work, I caved in and had some early easter choccie. Did I feel guilty you ask? No, I was riding to high on those damm endorphins.

A word to the wise....if you eat chocolate you will never become skinny...
B.E.
You just made me feel one million times better!!
ReplyDeletei did the whole okay as of monday, no more chocolate, the diet is on, NO MORE!!
Monday came around.... well its technically still part of "easter time" so you know the week doesnt realllly start till tuesday right?? needless to say i devoured another egg (ok or 3) but now its tuesday, and i have not eaten chocolate yet!! possibly because i have been awake for an hour... but no, its because of my restraint that may last this time!
i <3 your aims, totally there with you ladies!
